Kia Ora! Hello! Meet our founder + formulator - Sonali

Welcome to Pure + Kiwi! I'm Sonali. Growing up in New Zealand, I was constantly surrounded by pure beauty and powerful native botanicals that are integral to Kiwi culture. Every product I have is a reflection of my roots, celebrating the power and rarity of New Zealand’s environment.

Our Story

How It Began..

In 2008 I moved to New York. I currently reside in Huntington Station, New York. I'm a wife and mama of two kiddos. In 2016, several months after my daughter was born- she developed severe eczema. This meant she had consistently dry, red, itchy and irritated skin.

At first we used medications - like steroids, but over time I wanted something gentle and natural for my daughter’s skin. 

Our Story

Finding a Solution!

My deep connection to New Zealand and our natural botanicals inspired me to create my own creams - with Manuka Honey.  My creams allowed me to care for my daughter’s’ skin naturally and bring her comfort and relief.  Over the years we also used my creams for diaper rash and boo-boos!

Our story

Birth of Pure + Kiwi

After seeing how effective the cream I made for my daughter was, I felt inspired to create my own skincare brand. I wanted to showcase the power of New Zealand’s natural ingredients and share their unique benefits with others.

Our body butter Rescue is based on the cream I made for my daughter! Packed with Kowhai + Manuka Honey + Colloidal Oatmeal + Shea Butter.
